The platform is launching 'Your Algo', a private feed-control feature letting users tell the app to show more or less of a topic for 1–7 days — something rival X lacks. Threads is also taking its Communities feature out of beta with a discovery hub and top-contributor badges, and expanding Live Chats (real-time threads tied to events) to all communities by July. Despite the growth milestone, Meta isn't disclosing current daily active users (last reported at 150 million in October), and Threads is not yet a meaningful revenue driver. The 'Your Algo' feature expires after a week, meaning Meta retains ultimate control over the feed — unlike Bluesky, which gives users full algorithmic control. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
